It's a foster joke. Well, make yourself at home. Yeah, this is your place. You can do whatever you want with it. Do you wanna put posters on the wall, paint it? Yeah. This is what we do. We can knock that out in 20 minutes. Run down to the hardware store, pick any color you like. What do you say? - Any color. - Just pick a color. - What color do you like? Anything you want. - Any color. - You pick a color, we're doing it. - You'd look great in green.

- Hey. - Hey, you all done in there? Oh, yeah. And... she loves it. Oh, great. I'm so glad that she loves her black bedroom. So, I'm gonna register Juan and Lita at Harding in the morning. And then you can take Lizzy to the high school. Did you see their shoes? We might want to take them to the mall tomorrow. Hey, kids, dinner! What? That sounds insane coming out of your mouth. - Do we have kids? - Yeah, three of 'em. That's insane! I don't believe it! Did you not know that? 'Cause they're really here. - Holy shit. Holy shit. - Yeah. Yeah. - They're here. - I love you. Eeeww! - What? - Kiss again! Kiss again! God. Mmm! - Eeew! - Eeew! Mwah! - What about that one? - Kiss again! Kiss again! It's gonna be long and weird. - Mmm! - Eeeew! Mwah! - How 'bout that? - How 'bout that? - Come on, giggly. Sit down. - I'm gonna shift the plates. - Great. We have everything. We have burgers and pasta and... - Can we have potato chips? Let's get ready for the tub. Uh, you two, come on. Who wants to... Hey!

All right. Good night. We try so hard to engage with him, but no matter what we do, Jake just wants to hang out in his room, talking on his phone, swearing, taking the Lord's name in vain, and cranking his explicit music till all hours. And he got into another fight at school. Thank heaven he didn't seriously hurt one of the other kindergartners. I think maybe it's okay for a five-year-old to have a cell phone. But does he have a lot of contacts? We tried to take it, but his birth mother gave it to him, - and if we touch it, it's just... - Mmm. I'm so sorry. You are so right. He doesn't need a phone. - We're gonna try again. - Definitely try. Okay, and Pete and Ellie took in three children ten days ago, one of which is a teenager. Yeah, it's going pretty good. I think our kids made us realize just what kind of a rut we were in before. Not really a rut. Just the same old routine. You know? Work, go to the gym, grabbing dinner, drinks, the movies. - You know what I mean. - No, we don't know.

I know it sounds... I know everyone's going through tough stuff. But these kids, I think they're really good. We got lucky. - They got lucky. - Yeah, you hit the jackpot, lady. Guys. Why is this funny? I think they might be recognizing a little bit of a honeymoon period. No, we thought of that. But it doesn't feel like a period. Well, I mean, it's not perfect. Lita won't eat anything but potato chips. But we got a plan to work on that too. I'm not saying we're perfect parents. Are you sure?
